Medical Disclaimer

We write the health information on our website to help patients and families in and around Gopalganj understand common conditions, tests and operations. It is for awareness only. It is not a substitute for a consultation with a qualified doctor who can examine you.

For awareness, not diagnosis

Articles, treatment pages, videos, FAQs and the medical terms glossary explain things in general terms. Your own diagnosis and treatment depend on your symptoms, examination, test reports, age and other illnesses. Only your treating doctor can decide what is right for you.

  • Do not start, stop or change any medicine because of something you read here
  • Do not delay seeing a doctor because a symptom sounds mild online
  • Photos of reports sent on WhatsApp help us plan your visit, but they do not replace an examination
  • Please bring your questions to our OPD and ask the doctor directly

In an emergency

If someone has severe pain, heavy bleeding, chest pain, difficulty in breathing, a serious injury or has fainted, go to the nearest emergency department immediately. Do not wait for a reply on the website or WhatsApp. Our emergency department is open 24 hours at Kamla Rai College Road, Arar, Gopalganj, and you can call +91 72739 94786 on the way.

Results vary from person to person

The recovery times, hospital stay and results we describe on our website are typical ranges, not promises. Every operation carries some risk, and the outcome depends on the patient's condition. Our surgeon will explain the expected benefits, risks and other options before you give consent. Figures such as years of experience and number of surgeries come from our own hospital records.

Reviews and patient stories

The reviews on our website are copied word for word from our public Google Business Profile. Patient stories come from patients who agreed to share them or from public news reports. Each one is an individual experience. Your experience may be different, and a review is not a guarantee of a similar result.

Costs and government schemes

We explain costs before admission. Scheme rules, such as those of Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY, can change, so please confirm coverage with our Ayushman help desk. Scheme information on our website is general guidance, not a promise of coverage.

Other sources

We sometimes refer to trusted sources such as MedlinePlus, the NHS and the WHO. Their advice is general and may not fit every patient. You can read how we write and check our content in our editorial policy.

Frequently asked questions

Please visit our OPD or consult a qualified doctor before starting, stopping or changing any treatment.
